Windows NT Security ScanningAllen Bradley and Craig Terrell reported that NT security problems have been
causing problems all over campus. Craig, Travis Brown and Mike Willaims are working
on a two-step proactive approach to preventing future attacks:

1) by instituting a dynamic security checklist for WinNT, Win2K and various Unix
platforms that will be based upon installation or on exisiting systems. The
checklist will be updated regularly on the CWN website.

2) by testing the use of WebTrends Security Analyzer software. This software will
scan the requested systems and look for any known security vulnerabilities using its
auto-updated test files. If vulnerabilities are detected, it will provide a report
and instructions on how to fix the problems.

In an effort to better track and report security breaches, the CWN team will continue
to review log files and gather other forensic evidence, and, will also begin testing the
use Specter 4.5, an intrusion detection system. Specter 4.5 emulates any of nine
operating systems and twelve standard services. It records every connection attempt
to any of its ports or services. Using these records, incidents will become easier
to track and resolve.

HP Printer Maintenance Contract RevisitedMaurice Leatherbury questioned whether or not DCSMT members were interested
in a campus-wide HP maintenance contract. Because some DCSMT members were pleased
with the service they have been receiving from the vendors of their choice, it was decided
